As some of you may know, last week saw the resignation of Charlie Kielty as the coach of the British National team, the Bulldogs.  Having led the team successfully for some time, including taking them to the 2008 International Cup in Melbourne, Charlie has been a key member of the team and has helped establish the Bulldogs as one of the most competitive nations in the world.

Once again the stage is set to give the cream of British players the chance to show what they can do without their club's Aussies running next to them. The Brit Cup has been a highly successful and well-attended event since it's inception and this year promises to be no different.

On the 4th July, clubs from across the UK will put forward their British and European players in competition. Coaches and senior members of the GB Bulldogs will be there to view the talent on show, planning ahead to the International Cup in 2011.

Well it’s only just over 24 hours before the tournament in Wales commences and we’re all looking forward to it. The inaugural Cardiff British Club Challenge Cup will be up for grabs along with best player of the tournament and highest goal kicker medals as well.

As well as great sports action there will be a New Zealand and Australian expo village with all your favourite goodies from back home as well as information for people looking at relocating to New Zealand or Australia and a huge beer tent with over 20 types of beer from NZ and OZ.
